BASE-=BURNER STOVE.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 462,617, dated November3, 1891. Application filed April 18, 1891. Serial No. 389M172. (Nomodel.)

To all whom it may cancer/r.-

.Be it known that I, STANHOPE liOAL, a cit izen of the United States,and a resident of .Piqua, in the county of Miami and State of Ohio, haveinvented certain new and useful Improvements in liase-liurner Stoves, ofwhich the following is a specification.

This invention relates to telescopic and sectional magazines for thatclass of st oves known as hard-coal lntse-lnirners, the object being toso construct and arrange the telescopic sections of the magazine thatthe lower section can be raised without difficulty to allow the firebasket. or grate to be removed through the stove-doors without thenecessity of taking the stove apart, and also to construct thetelescopic section in such a manner thatit can be ornamented, all ofwhich will be fully set forth in the description of the accompa' nyingdrawings, making a part of this specification, in which- Figure l is afront elevation of my improvement applied to a stove in position foruse. Fig. 2 is an elevation, partly in section, of my improved magazine.Fig. is a top plan view of the lower portion of the same, and Fig. is asection on line :c ac, Fig. 2.

1 represents the frame of an ordil'iary lowdown base-burner stove; 2,the frame of the door-opening; 3, the door hinged thereto. 4 shows thefixed portion of the magazine, and 5 shows the telescope section of themagazine.

(3' represents the grate or tire basket. The stationary portion of themagazine t is attached upon the inside of the stove in the ordinarymanner, with the usual opening at the top of the stove for the admissionof fuel. The adjustable section 5 of the magazine depends in front ofthe door-opening and sufficiently low to prevent a too rapid dischargeof the coal into the fire'pot. This section is made smaller than thelower end of the stationary part. It is provided with ribs 7 on eitherside, which slide in grooves formed in the lower portion of thestationary section,

so that said adjustable section 5 may be raised up. It is prevented fromdropping through by the rim 8, or lugs may be formed thereon for thatpurpose.

\Vhen it is desired to remove or renew the tire pot or grate 6, thesection 5 is slid up bodily into the section 4:, which leaves sufficientspace to allow the tire pot or grate to be condition for casting.

readily taken out and a new one put in. This is a very importantfeature, and it saves taking the stove apart whenever the tire pot orgrz'tte needs renewing or adjusting. In the construction of magazinesthey have hitherto been made of cylindrical form and of one piece. \Yhenso made, it is impossible to make the outer periphery other than a planesurface because of the inability to withdraw the same from a mold; butby making this section of two or more segments of a circle the outerperiphery of said segments can be ornamented by configurations of anykind, either in relief or otherwise, and the sections readily drawn fromthe .mold.

The stove-doors are usually tilled with isinglass or mica for light andto expose the action of the incandescence. It is desirable to render theilluminated interior attractive to the eye by ornamentations andconfigurations upon the outer periphery of the lower portion of themagazine, and this I accomplish by making it in sections and uniting thesec tions together, thus allowing the patterns containing theconfigurations to be withdrawn from the mold, leaving the same iuperfect The preferred form of uniting the sections is bytongue-and-groove joint 10 and rivets 11,-as this keeps the magazineperfectly gas-tight, which would otherwise cause it to warp.

In Fig. 1 I have shown the outline of the stove without showing theornamentations and method of putting in mica above and below the door,which is usual in this class of stoves.

llaving described my invention, what I claim is- A magazine for abase-burner stove, composed of the upper stationary section 4 and thelower verticaliy-movable section 5, form ed of two or more piecesconnected by tongueandgroove joints 1t) and by rivets 11, passed throughvertical ribs '7, that are formed 011 the outside of said movablesection, and which ribs engage corresponding vertical. grooves in theinterior of the stationary section, substantially as shown anddescribed.

In testimony whereof I have hereunto set my hand.
